I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant and my ENT doctor has put me on Hicet AX tablets to take once a day for 57 days to help with a bad cough and cold I've been dealing with. I'm feeling a bit uneasy about whether this medication is actually safe to use during pregnancy. Can you let me know if it's okay to continue taking it while I'm in my first trimester?

I'm a bit worried because I notice that I bleed after having oral sex with myself. There's no pain, but I do start bleeding once I orgasm. The blood seems to be fresh. What could this mean?

I've been experiencing some worrying symptoms and was hoping to get your advice. I took an ipill for the first time this past Sunday, and now I'm noticing rashes on my stomach and arms that are really itchy. Plus, my stomach feels pretty bloated. I've also been on some digestive medicine since last Friday. Could these things be related, or should I be worried about something else going on?

I've had a right adnexal cyst since 2021, and the size keeps changing it was 86x54x40 mm in August 2021, then 71x39x53 mm in September, 72x42x55 mm in October, and 59x45x71 mm in November. By September 2022, it grew to 103x70x52 mm and now extends into the POD. Should I try medicine first or go for surgery? If surgery is needed, would it be open or laparoscopic? Also, what's the approximate cost for this treatment?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.
